Join REVOLT and end democracy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Just as the person who has everything can’t think of a thing they want, so too is the voter who is offered everything unable to decide on who to vote for.This dilemma is at the heart of dissatisfaction with democracy. To be clear, not everyone is dissatisfied with democracy. It is particularly popular now with Communists, Muslims and non-practising whites of the Left, for nothing advances totalitarianism as surely as the ballot box.The comments which follow, however, are not directed at those gr

In 1962 in the small village of Espéraza in the French Pyrenees bordering Spain I had my first encounter with young representatives of the European countries which, newly emerged from the Second World War, would go on to establish the Union designed to prevent any future wars in Europe.It was 20 years since the German Luftwaffe had begun its 57 night uninterrupted Blitz bombing of London, and 16 years since the US and British forces had entered the Nazi extermination camps at

The one we chose was new to both of us and a glance at the online menu warned us that this was the type of place where the vegetable side dishes cost as much as lobster and fillet mignon mains used to cost pre-Covid. But I knew the chef to be exceptionally good and I liked his wife.The restaurant, which I will call Ponsy’s, for the sake of the story, was in Ponsonby, an
